Describe the bug
A little over a month ago the MeshCentral Server's service (Hosted on Windows 10) failed. It would restart but immidiately fail again. I reinstalled but it didnt help. To correct the issue I used a blank config file. To regain my funtionality I enabled one thing at a time. When it came to re-enabling the session recording it crashed the service again. I have since left it off.

SInce it was off I tried running the session recordings manually but as soon as the recording starts the screen only refreshes in the spots where something changes.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
If you minimize a window only the menu bar section refreshes to show what is behind it. If you then mvoe your mouse to where the icons are (but are hidden behind the remnant of the previously minimized window) the Icons highlight as your mouse passes over them and you can see that icon.

Expected behavior
Session recordings previously were always clear and were created automattically for review later.

Screenshots
I have a short screen recording I can add to this bug report that shows the problem.

Additional context
I know it may be two separate issues but they occured at the same time with the same session recording function

this might be a nodejs issue, you are running the min version 16 and you should really use the latest LTS version
i would recommend, you stop meshcentral, update nodejs to latest lts version (22), then start meshcentral again
and try again and see how you get on

also session recording uses memory and hard drive,
so make sure you have free memory like 1GB and also quick storage (ssd)

if its windows, did you use the meshcentral installer to set it up originally?
if so just stop meshcentral service in task manager,
then visit https://nodejs.org/en and download the LTS version,
install it (you can ignore the tick to install modules like chocolatey),
then start the meshcentral service in task manager again :)

Thank you again for your help.
I have updated to v22.12.0 but the screen refresh issue when manually starting session recordings remains. I havent tried enabling automattically session recording in the config.json yet.

yeh dont include .mcrec file as they are WAY too big,

you can try the snipping tool to capture a short video and upload that on github.com

is that YOUR desktop OR the remotes desktop (but shown in meshcentral) ?
that doesnt seem right?
what settings/quality/etc do you have set in the settings button for the agent?

so it does this when you click the local session recording icon (bottom right)
OR have session recording enabled on the server itself?

does it do it with ALL your computers OR only a single computer?

daft one, have u tried connecting to the computers from a different computer?

also tried different browsers too?

whats weird is the localsessionrecording (when u click the record button)
is totally different to the sessionrecording (which is done on the server)
localsessionrecording is done in the browser and sessionrecording is on the server (middle man as you where)
you say its happened from every computer you have remoted from,
have you tried connecting to DIFFERENT computers and seeing if the same thing happens?
if other computers u connect to dont have this issue, then its something with that single computer

im really not too sure?
im out of ideas apart from try different browsers or try clearing your browser history/cache/cookies/etc
if you are happy, email myself (email on my github profile left hand side) and provide details
and i can connect into your machine and have a look for you as it might be a bug of some form 👍

so just updating this issue for others, after investigating the issue with @WingedSpur,

it appears in some version of chrome/edge when you click local recording,
its hitting a Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded error
and this is due to String.fromCharCode.apply(null, view)
the fix is actually to split the view up into chunks,
then fromCharCode each chunk and stitch them back together

as for the server not starting when you enable server side sessionRecording,
it appears meshcentral tries to install image-size as expected,
HOWEVER in the process node-sspi tries to reinstall/rebuild itself and it fails for some mad reason, which stops the server from running!
as a general rule NOBDOY uses the sspianymore that im aware of,
so i will disable this being installed via the meshcentralinstaller as this is also another factory,
this problem only comes about IF you used the meshcentralinstaller to setup your server in the first place
node-sspi isnt installed with a normal NPM install unless you setup sspi in the config.json
